All models included random effects to control for repeated measures and clustering of subjects within study site, fixed effects for gender, minority status, education, number of axis I disorders at baseline, number of Axis II disorders other than BPD, and baseline scores on the dependent variable, and time-varying effects of depression and treatment intensity.
